Amaryllis in Blueberry

Amaryllis in BlueberryAmaryllis in Blueberry by Christina Meldrum

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


My niece recommended this book to me while we were vacationing and I didn't immediately click with it.  When you are sitting on the beach, you really just want a mindless read.  But as soon as I got home, I started reading it again, and was quickly drawn in.  The story is very similar to Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible, and at first that sort of turned me off.  But as I was drawn into it more and more, I started to see it for the book it was.  It has many layers that are peeled back slowly, with the last revelation showing up on the last page.
